Noun

IPA: /ˈvəʊl/ Audio: LL-Q1860 (eng)-Vealhurl-vole.wav [Southern-England] Forms: voles [plural]
Rhymes: -əʊl Etymology: Borrowed from Norn vollj, from Old Norse vǫllr (“field”), from Proto-Germanic *walþuz (“forest”). The Orkney dialectal term vole mouse, lit. “field mouse”, was introduced to general English by George Barry in 1805; John Fleming in 1828 was first to refer to the creature by the epithet vole alone. Displaced earlier names for these species which also classified them as mice, e.g. short-tailed field mouse.
